The NoteCard program was developed to review and learn any topic. The idea behind the program is reiteration. The pathology questions in this package serve as an example of how one might construct one's own questions for review. Complete documentation is included in the file "NoteCard Instructions." To get started without reading the documentation simply double-click on one or any number of the files in the folder "Pathology Questions." This will start the NoteCard 2.4 application and open those files. Then select "Test" from NoteCard's "Special" menu.
CONTENTS
The NoteCard ShareWare Package 1.7 should include the following files:
• NoteCard Instructions 1.1 (complete documentation in MS Word 4.0/5.0 format)
• This "Read Me" TeachText document
• 'Pathology Questions' folder containing a number of example files.
REVIEW
Reviewed in the April 1993 issue of Medical Software Reviews:
"The program covers a broad range of
subjects and should be useful to students seeking a
review in the format of multiple questions. It might
be of even greater use to students who want to use the
authoring system throughout medical school to prepare
their own questions for ongoing study. At $15 it is
a bargain."
